Pairbot

A simple hubot script to support pair programming.

The initial use case is pretty specific:

As a developer pairing with another developer (my pair), both on an IRC channel, I'd like to get messages that mention me forwarded to my pair, so that I can see them.

But there might be other use cases in the future.

See src/pairbot.coffee for full documentation.
